INTRODUCTIONS OF APPROACHES OF THE PAYMENTS FOR ECOSYSTEM SERVICES FOR ECOLOGICAL TOURISM

摘要

Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are a new approach for internationalising the positive environmental externalities associated with ecosystem services. They involve financial transfers from the beneficiaries of these services, i.e. those who are demanding them, to others that are conducting activities, which generate these environmental services, i.e. are supplying them. The valuation of ecosystem goods and services is based on the concept of total economic value. In the context of this Code, the total economic value of ecosystems encompasses the value of goods and services that ecosystems generate in relation to water, both at present and in the future.
